You are considered an alcoholic when you go to meetings.
You are considered a drunk if you don't.

Seriously though, not sure there would be a 'set' amount.. maybe more the regularity, the reasons and a heap of other variables to consider.

i think it's a state of mind, not an amount of sauce. and it's not just alcohol, it's anything that is a device

The amount consumed has little to do with what makes one an alcoholic. There are alcoholics out there that have never touched a drink, and there are people that party way too much and get drunk all the time, yet aren't alcoholics.

Ultimately, it is a personal diagnosis and when drinking's problems out weight its "benefits", it is probably time to quit before life gets worse.

I guess when you can't go for more than one day without drinking or thinking about drinking, you can be considered a full-blown alcoholic.

One of the most widely used measures for assessing alcohol abuse. The M.A.S.T. is a 25-item questionnaire designed to provide a rapid and effective screening for lifetime alcohol-related problems and alcoholism. The MAST, which can be used in either a paper-and-pencil or interview format, has been productively used in a variety of settings with varied populations.
It's widely used and very accurate.

A beer or a glass of wine with dinner, then perhaps one more in the evening then you're ok. But if you start drinking on weekdays before 5 and/or have more than 2/3 every single day, you're pushing it.

The first sign is denial.

And I'm an alcoholic.

Therefore I can't be one, an alcoholic would never admit to being one.

An alcoholic is someone who has a drink on hand or near by at all times, and hides in side other bottles to disguise it.They dont nesseceraly get totally mothered they are just drunk all the time , they usually have breath mints or I knew someone who had a tube of tooth paste in her hand bag at all times.

Alcoholic or not, alcohol is just at trade off for something else - man have addiction in nature, some in alcohol, some in drugs, some in sex abuse, some in cookin, some in gambling, some in posting at GFY.....get rid of one habit just introduces a new, so why try ?

I think if you can't pass a day without having a drink that would consider you to be an alcoholic.

I don't know, but I certainly think people laugh alcohol off way to much. If you enjoy it every now and than and there are no side effects than cool. If you drink it often and ignore all the problems caused by it (family, health, friends, fights, etc) than I think it is a good starting point at establishing you are an alcoholic.

believe me that last line indicates youve got a problem, wether other ppl think its cool or not not remembering shit means trouble imho.

plus a few whiskeys a day dont just mean alcolhol. They mean health issues too after a while. And yes I drink too, maybe one glass per 1-2 weeks red wine. And if I dont its np at all.

yea i never had that before a few months ago or so, only recently ive had it a few times with going out. Im pretty certain its related to the absinthe i started drinking recently with my friends before we go out. I love the stuff but its pretty hard shit - gonna tone it down a bit.

A sure sign that you may be an alcoholic is when you starting questioning, "When am I considered an alcoholic?". Its shows that you've mentally admitted to yourself that you drink a lot and are now turning to others for their opinions with the hopes that they'll say you're not an alcoholic.

As a recovering alcoholic myself, I've been there/done that. Back in the day I would've answered yes to nearly every question that johnnyhey posted above (a good checklist, BTW).

As others have said, its not the amount you drink. Its the effect it has on your lifestyle. Step one is recognizing this and admitting it to yourself. Step two is proactively doing something about it.

High risk for problem drinking. Addiction to alcohol is likely. Contact your doctor for help.

to some point i see this being helpful because it makes you think about the questions... but the only positive scores i answered on behalf of my wife who almost never drinks, is a vegan vegetarian, fitness trainer buddhist:

these are the questions that caused my wife to be labeled as a "very high risk problem drinker"

Quote:
Have you ever awakened the morning after some drinking the night before and found that you could not remember part of the evening before?
Can you honestly tell me that MOST people at some poitn in their lives havent had a wild night out where some portion of the evening is a blur? (21st birthday, a wild frat party, bachelorette party)

Quote:
Have you gotten into fights while drinking?
Who the hell hasn't drunk dialed, said something stupid, or just misinterpreted something and ended up getting in a tiff if they went out drinking? My wife thought I was flirting with the bartender one night when we went out with another couple. She got pissed at me and wouldnt talk to me til the next morning. She's really racking up the points.

Quote:
Do you ever drink before noon?
YES! It's called a Mimosa or a Bloody Mary, every grown up has them with brunch on occassion. It's the word "ever" that's making these questions pointless.

and her score? Drumroll.. 4

Sorry, I don't think things like alcoholism can be diagnosed by a 20 question true/false questionairre filled with questions like "have you ever had a drink before noon"
